Brief Summary

Advanced epithelial ovarian cancer has high morbidity and mortality. Patients presenting with advanced stage ovarian cancer often have cancer spread to regional lymph nodes. Imaging strategies to depict involved lymph nodes are currently not successful. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadofosveset trisodium contrast enhancement (GDF-MRI) and diffusion weighted imaging (DW-MRI) is able to identify involved lymph nodes in a preoperative setting. This could guide the surgeon during surgery to dissect lymph nodes which could lead to an optimal diagnosis/staging with the lowest possible morbidity. We want to determine the optimal imaging settings and feasibility of MRI for the detection of pathological lymph nodes in women with advanced (FIGO stage IIB-IV) ovarian cancer undergoing primary debulking surgery and compare this to conventional imaging with computer tomography (CT).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Feasibility of MRI in depicting lymph nodes.

  Primary outcome measure is to determine the optimal imaging settings and feasibility of MRI combined with DW-MRI and GDF-MRI (gadofosveset-MRI) in the identification of pathologic lymph nodes in women with advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer.

Study Arms (1)

GDF-MRI

EXPERIMENTAL

In this pilot study, all included patients will undergo conventional MRI with contrast enhancement (gadofosveset trisodium) and diffusion weighted MRI. Ablavar™ solution contains 244 mg/mL (0.25 mmol/mL) gadofosveset trisodium. 0.03 mmol/kg of gadofosveset will be administered by manual injection as a single intravenous bolus injection over a period of time up to 30 seconds followed by a 25-30 ml saline flush. In practice, this comes down to the maximum of one vial for one patient (one vial contains 10 ml solution, which contains a total of 2.50 mmol of gadofosveset trisodium equivalent to 2.27 g of gadofosveset).
